You've Got Mail

I was cleaning my wardrobe to make space for my bags & clothes when I came across this ....

My box full of letters from my secondary school days. There is still another box that is 3/4 filled. Wa, looking through these stuff really brings back fond memories.... Let the journey begins here (in no particular order)

1. Kaijie - He contributed to 80% of this box and 95% of the other box .... I managed to dig out the first letter that he wrote to me.

It all begin with this letter (I took me 1 hr to search through the pile for the "unstamped" letter) that slowly evoked into 10 yrs of letter-exchanging (and counting) which translates into
.

This pile is only for the 2 yrs which I were in Sec 3 & 4. The rest are all in the other box :P Lots of "secrets" were being revealed throughout history, haha ...

I found this little bunny cute while searching for the 1st letter and couldn't burst out laughing when I read the content ....

四大俊男! OMG, those were the days :P

2. Viperboy aka Ryan Leong - close buddies cuz of a particular Ms C.

Still rem the days whereby you would pass me your "diary" along the stairway, so that I will be up-to-date with your happenings. Plus, we continued to exchange letter when you went to Malaysia for your studies, but somehow, it stopped halfway. You even sent me my V-day card, for being your part-time... :)

PS: I still have the rainbow pic that you took from your balcony in KL & the Beckham figurine ...if you still rem; not sure if you are reading this :)


3. Wanling - my buddy since Sec 1/2. She is the only person who dare to "scold" me in her letters, telling me matter-of-fact why she is unhappy with me/my behaviour.

I cherish all those that she wrote, for that made me reflect and change for the better. She is the only one which I wont dare to fight back, in case she stare at me with her big and round eyes! One of the few frens whom I am willing to sacrifice my sleep to accompany her to MOE. She is now back @ our alma mater; good luck to the students!

4. Bert-ge - a member of 四大俊男.

Close buddy cuz of Ms C & Viperboy. Haha, complicated relationship :P Ms C - you have made me a very busy person those days by listening to their stories. Luckily I didn't fail any of my papers :) My Scout senior who nv fail to shout "Hong-mei!" all the way from the end of the corridor whenever he sees me walking past....

5. YuXin - my buddy since P4

His handwriting is still the same after 10 yrs! Ivan & him are my oldest pals to date, since primary school and we're still in touch, though not that often. In fact, Yuxin and I were rumoured to be dating during our sec days, cuz the guys just cannot comprehend that people of the opposite sex can be close buddies, haha, but we managed to prove them wrong! I still rem our dance competition, the "save-me" look on your face when you had to do project with the "witches" and many many more! Wishing you all the best in your final yr k!

6. Mr Y - a fren from TCHS. Till now, only Leecher and me know the content of this letter :) not going to reveal any information here

7. Mr X - a NACLI fren from TCHS. Kinda surprised when he sent me a postcard all the way from Perth and left a kangaroo souvenir at my doorstep. Hope you're well no matter where you are :)

8. 傅老师 - my chinese teacher for Sec 3&4.

Ya, surprised that I even exchanged letters with my teacher rite? No lah, this was supposed to be a holiday assignment (Nov/Dec holidays) whereby we were supposed to write letters to him,"reporting" to him what we have done for the wk. I wrote 5 letters and I topped the hall of fame, haha.

9. Kelvin - my brother during NJC days

Surprised that he still remembered my bdae even though we were no longer studying in the same school :) He sent me my biggest bdae card to date ...

10. MiaoLi - sister since Sec 1. 12 yrs of our friendship, been through a lot. I still remembered there was a point in time whereby we had lots of misunderstandings and I wrote you a 7 pg long letter, venting all my unhappiness and stuff etc. From then on, we cleared up a lot of stuff and this Chinese New Yr card signifies a new beginning of our new-found friendship :) (Miao, you still can rem what you wrote? haha)

And she sent me a card last yr on my bdae :) Till date, she is the only one who writes "Darling" or "同志" on the cover of the letter. Her handwriting has improved slightly through the yrs, not forgetting her chinese!

11. Qianhui - sister since Sec 3. Though we were in the same class during lower sec, somehow, she has the hostile face and we hanged out with different cliques of frens. Not only till Sec 3, den we sort of got together and formed the sister clique till now.

My roomie during my short stint in Hall 3. She nv fail to announce to the world that I was bathing in the shower room when she called "Hong mei mei" even though we went to the shower room together. She was also Leecher's supporter when she sensed that he was interested in me when we studied together, wa ha ha. Though you have found your old man, but do rem, the 4 of us will continue to 三八 in the next 50 yrs to come!

12. FongLing - sister since sec 3. Fling, how come u nv write any letters to me ar? not even a xmas card leh, haha. However, I decided to include you in my journey too .... see, I am so good to you! So you shld know what to do this yr okie? :P

13. JinLian - the role model that I look up to.

She was the chairman of Sec 204 and the Councillor president. Composed and calm, she is like wonder woman, able to solve all situations. She is like the elder sister that I nv had :)

PS: Jinlian, as I was reading the card, you wrote that I got abuse you ar? Since when huh? I totally cannot rem leh :P

14. Mike - my ex colleague in NTU

Thanks for remembering the occassion and sending your warmest greetings. I love the precious moments figurines & the winnie the pooh photo frame :) hope you're enjoying your work & marriage life!

To those whom wrote letters to me but wasn't mentioned - I will still rem all of you, dont worry :)

Leecher is not included, for Leecher got a box to call his own .... and it comes in my fave colour too :P its all P&C, hahaa...in case you all puke at his mushy words, LOL
